I agree with De Palma, and always thought he’s taken Hitch’s formal strategies to new heights. So if you’re going to be good, you’re going to use some of his ideas because he’s done them all.” If you’re working in this genre, Hitchcock’s done it all. In the 2015 interview, De Palma says “I’ve always thought that I’ve taken the ideas of Hitchcock and tried develop them further.” In 2001 for an older featurette on the movie, he says:”I was always very open about my use of Hitchcock’s language when I made movies – and the story ideas, they’re the best that exist. So there’s that common Hitchcock accusation. De Palma gives poor Dickinson a sick punchline of a come-uppance and piles on the bad news for her, right up to the shocking end. Then, she embarks on one of the best almost-silent, carefully choreographed sequences in modern movies: A 9-minute stroll through Philadelphia Museum of Art (standing in for New York) full of suggestive looks, red herrings, and darkly comic foreshadowing. She famously had a body double for her opening shower scene (a Penthouse Pet also interviewed in the supplements), which is absurdly overheated due in part to Pino Donaggio‘s string-heavy melodramatic score, which turns sinister in a recurring theme. But as Nigel Tufnel put it in This is Spinal Tap: “What’s wrong with being sexy?”Īngie Dickinson didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Upon its release, co-star Keith Gordon says in another extra on the Blu-ray, that Dressed to Kill was accused of being “trashy, sexist, and violent.” All true. Put simply, Dressed to Kill is a refreshing joy to watch in this age of ultra-fast editing and homogenized camera angles. At the same time, however, it uses grand cinematic gestures to relay the dread and guilt of its characters to great effect. It’s a lurid film featuring throat-slashing, overheated lust, and a too-simple reduction of transgender and cross-dressing issues for pulpy purposes. There’s so many different angles to take when reviewing Dressed to Kill. Since De Palma is talking to filmmaker Noah Baumbach, it can be assumed that this is either a scene from or an outtake of De Palma, a new documentary by Baumbach and Jake Paltrow, which just premiered at the Venice Film Festival. The quote comes from one of many interviews included on this excellent new Criterion disc. That’s director Brian De Palma talking about his strategy of extreme widescreen composition filled with detail, as well as rest of the cinematic bravura on display in his controversial 1980 thriller Dressed to Kill, recently released in a restored uncut version for The Criterion Collection on Blu-ray. We’re not going to see too many David Lean shots on an iPhone 6.” The close up and the two-shot are going to rule. People don’t think like this anymore and it’s becoming more of a problem because the screens are getting small. Although doctors told her in 1998 she wouldn't make it two more years, she held on until 2019 while acting as a spokeswoman for various breast cancer charities.“I feel like this is a lost art. After episodes of The Dukes of Hazzard and Lou Grant, she stopped acting before breast cancer cancelled any possible Victoria Lynn comeback. Preparing for a nude photoshoot, we get al the explicit nudity Penthouse has become known for, as Larry Flynt has our flintlock cocks locked and loaded watching her rub oil on every inch of her body. Fans of Johnson haven't been shortchanged, though, since Victoria Lynn shows off her amazing face (and all her other parts) in The Girls of Penthouse (1984). It didn't take long for her to find work in film, starting with a pantie run in Grizzly (1976), that ended before we could see any of her T&A, when a bear mauled her under a waterfall. If you had to choose a body to try and pass off as your own, you could do a whole lot worse than Victoria Lynn, the Georgia peach whose first claim to fame was taking home the win as August 1976's Penthouse Pet of the month. We even get to watch her rub her bush for so long, the water heater must have gone cold. Enter Victoria Lynn Johnson, a gorgeous model who stepped in to provide the film with some daring frontal nudity, giving your palm some action as she flashes her double D's as Angie's body double. Angie, however, didn't want to show off her impressive aging bod in a shower scene for Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill (1980). Any guy would be perfectly happy to jump in the shower, dick out with Angie Dickinson.
